Below the ears, the hair is undercut, even pointed in the back at the neck. Above the ears, hair is long and parted off center.

Alternating colors like purple and pink take this normally edgy cut in a feminine direction. However, this color and cut combo will be a little more high-maintenance than some of the other options.
